SO-CALLED SPIRITUALITY

Even though spirituality maybe a form of wishful thinking on the part of the people who call themselves spiritual, it none the less can still be considered to represent certain ideals which have a practical and moral value for people in general. Spirituality puts importance on feelings and thoughts of an introverted nature, people who call themselves spiritual apply this to a way of living , it is true that a lot of the ideals which are considered to be spiritual are of a positive kind, such as sacrifice, altruism, peaceful co-existence, humility, discipline by the use of prayer and so on, and can therefore be considered important for our evolution as humans. It does not matter whether we as humans have a soul or spirit or whatever that lives on after physical death, all this maybe wishful thinking on our part. Humans have always had spiritual beliefs irrespective of mainstream religions ever since the days when they lived in caves. To suggest that their is a god that exists, that created everything, or that god is dead, or that god does not exist, does not take away the feeling of wonder that is the miracle of reality, and the processes of energy within space, the structure of the universe is an amazing thing irrespective of what people say about it or how it was created. The ceaseless, eternal, and perpetual vibration of energy is the greatest if not one of the greatest mysteries known to humans, it is what Arthur Schopenhauer called the thing-in-itself (or the "will" in nature), it is also impossible to explain the reason why energy and infinite space exists at all!
Another way to look at spirituality is to view it as a concept of the human condition which connects us all in its ideals and morals, and elevates us towards our higher selves, humans need some of these ideals and morals of spirituality for their psychological well being and evolution.
